Excuse Me Gentlemen?

Alright Ladies it's time for us to have a very important conversation.
About Men.
And boys, it really wouldn't hurt if you paid some attention to this. You might be able to pick up a few things about being a gentlemen, or learning what girls like so you can get them to fall in love with you easier, or easier to get to bed. Lets be honest you will still be boys...

I decided to write about his because one of my closest friends, Marrissa, just got out of a pretty rocky relationship. Marrissa had a crush on Aden at the end of last year, and after some small convincing for Marrissas' friends Aden asked her out. I thought they were a total power couple, but any relationship with Marrissa in it is a power relationship, because that girl can kick ass. One day I was at my friend Lizzie's house for a small party, and Marrissa was there. She seemed upset for most of the party, but tried to avoid having a bad time. When we finally asked her what was wrong she replied with, "Today was my one-month. Aden totally forgot." Don't ask us girls why your one-month anniversary is a big deal, we aren't completely sure why, but it is. So remember it.

I wanted to tell Marrissa to leave him, but I didn't. Her relationship wasn't my relationship. I didn't know the whole story, and telling her to leave him would probably have only upset her even more. So I did what any friend would do, I told her he probably forgot, and feels terrible.

Marissa and Aden eventually ended things. But I don't see a problem with it, she wasn't happy in the relationship, and as my friend there is nothing she deserves more then being happy.

Now what was the whole point of this story? What should you girls and boys be taking away from this? Well for starters, don't forget your one-months! Second if you do- make it up to the person!

But aside from Marrissa's story, I want to base my own opinions about relationships, especially relationships at this age.

First I think the women in relationships are held to unrealistic standards. Boys, listen a girl is not going to sleep with you after two months, she may not even sleep with you within a year of your relationship. Also stop expecting every girl to be a DD-cup ok? Not every girl has JWOWW's boobs and ass. Respect a girl for her heart, not body.

Secondly, I think us girls also hold men to a semi-unfair standard. We expect a boy to remember EVERYTHING we have EVER said, and that's a little unrealistic. I'm not saying you boys can get away with hitting the mute-button on us and zoning out into our chest the entire time, but just listen, put your best effort into the relationship. Also, guys will cheat. It's a fact, maybe one day you will find the right guy who wouldn't ever cheat on you, I'm sure he is out there. Until that guy comes though, you're going to have to kiss some frogs. Don't give up on men entirely though, going through a few douche-bags will make the final one worth while. Another thing us women think about men- No man has a perfect past. Don't try to find all of his hidden secrets, there are some things he wants to leave in the past. Let them stay there. Don't expect your boyfriend to be perfect, expect your soul mate to be perfect, and odds are he won't be your first boyfriend. I'm just being honest.

Boys will be boys, while they are young most of them will only think about sex. Not all of you do, but for the sake of this post- most of you do.
Girls will be girls, while we are young we will hold you boys to standards that are unfair. We don't mean to but we do.
Relationships are screwed up while we are young, that's why you learn now so you know what to do when you are older and ready to settle down with a person you truly love.
